Fabio Maulo’s put up the NHibernate 3.1GA release on www.nhforge.org. So far I’ve upgraded my code with minimal issues. Here are the release notes:

Some time ago I wrote a Windows service that handled some XML imports.  The whole thing was built using Reactive Extensions (Rx) and LINQ-to-XML for parsing. Another developer had since taken over the maintenance of the project for the last few months but I had some more work to do on it today.  Lo and behold my shiny unit test suite (36 tests, not something to write home about but it wasn’t all that complex) had less th
